THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR IN MY 2006 HONDA CR-V WILL NOT STAY IN THE PROPER POSITION. IT HAS NEVER STAYED FLUSH AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD, BUT RATHER SAGGED DOWN ABOUT 1-2 INCHES; HOWEVER, I JUST TREATED THIS AS AN ANNOYANCE PREVIOUSLY. AS OF APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS AGO, IT STARTED SAGGING EVEN FURTHER WHEN "OPENED" AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD, AND NOW IT NO LONGER STAYS FLUSH AGAINST THE ROOF OF THE CAR EITHER, OR AGAINST THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IF I HAVE IT ROTATED 90 DEGREES. IT SAGS DOWN SEVERAL INCHES, NO MATTER WHICH DIRECTION IT IS TURNED OR FLIPPED. IT IMPACTS MY VISIBILITY BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SHIELD THE SUN PROPERLY, AND IT GETS IN MY WAY, BOTH PHYSICALLY, AND BY BLOCKING MORE OF MY FIELD OF VIEW THAN WHAT IS APPROPRIATE. I AM NOT EVEN TALL--5'4". I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY (8 YEARS/120,000 MILES) AND AM JUST SHY OF 80,000 MILES NOW. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC FIRST, AND THEY SAID THE ENTIRE FIXTURE NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THEN I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO SEE IF THIS WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY; THEY SAID, "CALL HONDA AND ASK THEM." MEANWHILE, I ASKED WHAT IT WOULD COST ME TO REPAIR THIS OUT OF POCKET: $151 FOR THE VISOR AND $52 PER HOUR FOR LABOR, SO OVER $200, LIKELY. I CALLED HONDA, AND A VERY UNHELPFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON SAID THE SUN VISOR IS CLASSIFIED AS INTERIOR TRIM AND THEREFORE, NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

AFTER READING THE HONDA COMPLAINTS SITE, I DISCOVERED THAT HONDA OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THEIR TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE REPLACED TRANSMISSIONS TOO. ALSO, THE REPAIR COST ME $2,358.81 AFTER HONDA SUPPOSEDLY CONTRIBUTED $1,500 TO THE REPAIR. THIS COST IS MORE THAN I WOULD HAVE PAID IF I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION SHOP FOR REPAIR. I HAVE NEVER HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED, INCLUDING MY TOYOTA CAMRY, WHICH HAD 279,000 MILES ON IT WHEN IT WAS REAR ENDED AND TOTALED BY A FORD 150. *TR

MY 2006 HONDA CR-V HAS ONLY 71,000 MILES ON IT. THE ENGINE HAS BEEN MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

I BOUGHT AN HONDA 2006 CR-V NEW IN 2006. IN OCT. 2009 I STARTED EXPERIENCING MULTIPLE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULB FAILURES. THIS STARTED AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE REPLACED THE LEFT AND RIGHT BULBS 7 TIMES. THIS BULB FAILURE IS SPONTANEOUS AND WHEN IT HAPPENS AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING, IT PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS INVOLVING HONDA CR-V LOW BEAM LIGHT BULB FAILURES IN THE NHTSA DATA BASE. THIS SITUATION IS NOT UNIQUE TO MY VEHICLE. HONDA HAS REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM AND DID NOT SUPPLY A SOLUTION. I FEEL A RECALL WOULD BE VALID IN THIS SITUATION SINCE DRIVING WITH ONE OR NO HEADLIGHTS PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE BULBS AT MY OWN EXPENSE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATING THE HIGH BEAMS HEADLIGHTS BUT THE LOW BEAMS WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS HIMSELF. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY ABOUT NINE TIMES. DURING SOME OF THE FAILURES, ONLY ONE SIDE OF THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD STOP FUNCTIONING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 91,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE DRIVER SEAT OF MY 2006 HONDA CR-V BEGAN WOBBLING AND ROCKING. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY MENTIONED THAT THE SEAT FRAME IS WORN OUT AND NEED TO REPLACE IT. IT COSTS ABOUT $600. DRIVER SEAT IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART AND SHOULD NOT BE WORN OUT LIKE THAT. *TR
